A successful Black woman in media, Bee Quammie often finds herself being cast as a role model for young women—and especially Black women and other women of colour.

Who says the path she followed is the “right” one—that there even is a “right” one?

Joshua Bennett and Jesse McCarthy repeatedly found themselves struck by the number of exciting poets they came across in long-out-of-print collections and forgotten journals whose work has been neglected or entirely ignored, even by scholars of Black poetry.

The word “HELP” scrawled at the top is even more unnerving. But who’s in danger? And why?
